Is that movie the Intro now? Where did my Hellraiser GO!! Fuckers!

And the music! Arrg...Waling! Cliche' city. Let me show you how Cliche' Waling is as Theme in Film.

let's say you have English Country side and path up to a castle. All you see is the Horse and rider from a distance.

The music is typical bang drum and sticks with ...Waling voice maybe it's Gaelic or something else.
And the rider is getting closer to the castle. On each side of the path are people impaled on stakes.
The music is getting louder as the rider gets closer to the clastle. Whawhaalawhaaa

Waling voice and boom drums with sticks hitting the rim of Drum whatever....The camera pans out to the horses mouth, it shows the riders gloves on the reins, then at the gates the music stops. Silence....

Camera pans to rider as he looks up taking off his helmet revealing a skull. A voice appears as the gates are thrown
open and they say "We welcome you brother" Then super Intense Waling as rider rides through....
and Boom! it's over.

The whole Waling thing is over done.

Why is there some African women the star in this video? Do they even care about Diablo 4?

What happened to the Hellraiser style video is that just the their promo?

What did you expect? Blizzarvision is a dead studio shilling an online Diablo-themed casino to NPCs.

diablo 2 and its consequences have been a disaster for the RPG genre.
Divine Divinity and Nox are the true successors to Diablo 1, unlike Diablo 2.
What makes Nox a true successor to D1?
It's gud, it's a diablo-like, it's not a cookie clicker dopamine inducer and it retained good grimdark atmosphere.

Diablo 2 just revealed what was already there, human nature. It's a fine game.

The visual effects of skills look terrible. Vague, bright-colored fluid-like effects filling the screen. As if they couldn't be bothered to come up with original and interesting effects. The game looks a lot like D3 despite their constant reminder that they're trying to make it like D2.

A man of taste right here. DD and Nox are gems in the aRPG genre.

Makes me think, one thing those games have in common is environmental interactivity. They're both about giving you tools to be creative with, and secrets to find. Both have combat in towns too, making the places more real than the usual artificial havens. It's as if they had very similar design principles in many ways.

Diablo 4 was made by the community. They actually listened to the community. We'll see if they make the world more alive. What I don't like is that even if you play solo you would still run into others during the game.

Blame the community on Diablo 4.

Bullshit.
1. It's a PR lie.
2. Listening to community doesn't excuse the devs of... you know... actual dev work.

I would like them to add quality of life to the game. What they show looks pretty bland to me.

Hey they had Blizzcon where they got on stage and stated don't you have a phone? Well do you have a phone! Then this game is for you!

Buy Puts!!!!

It should just run uninstall.exe when you launch the game. Max QoL achieved!
Failing that, booting the game should just stick you into the cash shop with your credit card details entered and pre-charged. Maximum QoL and bending over achieved simultaneously!

DeepOcean's Diablo IV experience Nostradamus preview:
1 - Shut down brain and auto win through everything until end game, effort is optional, it will just make you auto win faster.
2 - You wont even have a decent storyfag experience, because Inarius has a male voice and Lilith is a female demon and the writers are hopeless simps, so, you already know who is right and who will win by the end dont you? Want to watch girl boss know better story number 7958?
3 - Get to end game, now you have the priviledge of replaying through the same shit you played before but with bloated stats.
4 - Your character looks like some miserable peasant, so, you can pay enough money that can buy 10 games to rectify that or waste the equivalent of 100 games in time but instead of having fun playing 100 games, you will waste all that precious time on the most mind numbing and soul crushing meaningless and repetitive activities so your character can look somewhat cool and stop looking like a miserable peasant with constipation.
5 - Eventually Blizzard will start releasing MMO features that at worst are just excuses to scam you out of your money or at best, window dressing designed to make you waste even more time to pretend they are actually investing the microtransaction money on the game instead of buying Bobby's third Yacht.
6 - Hate yourself but come here on the codex claiming it is a great game so other shmucks will share the same existential pain as you of playing what is the equivalent of Sisyphus torture in the form of a game.

Nah mane, if they listened to the community they would remake Diablo 2 forvever exactly as it was hold up, they did that already. Diablo 4 is the next big step of making money off Diablo grinding made by polish troons. Diablo 2 sucked ass cuz the gameplay was about rolling those drop casino games for rare lootz. If a real gamer wanted that shit just hook them up to that shit that either gives you crack or an electric shock like with the rats. Shit game for addicts that are afraid to smoke the real deal.

First game was damn fine tho. No grinding shit, just getting your ass more and more chafed the lower down you got into the megadungeon. Classic.

Is the first game better than smoking crack after some electroshock therapy though? Asking for a friend.
